Detecting a jihadist, now shes using the term jihadist now a days. To be able to detect if the jihadist are in the United States, but the Obama Administration refuse today consider one element of the vetting. If you say no, youre going to let jihadist come to the United States and assume the responsibility. Thats what mr. Trump is trying to change. Charles according to white house now the screening process includes collecting document and Resettlement Support Center that goes through the application process and you get the security change after that, department of homeland security, the state department and biometric security check, medical check and cultural orientation. Are they missing something in this process where they are not focused enough with respect to allegiance to dangerous terrorist groups . Absolutely. Let me make it very, very clear. What they are missing in this sophisticated process our agencies are fantastic. They receive political orders. They have all the tool ifs

It was kind of an anchor institution that drove greater connectivity. Look, i appreciate that. I think if you look at the weight of all the evidence that came in from various groups, and you can say they are biased, support for reform of the program to have wifi
